Ms. Acosta read the proposed ballot language, "Shall the CAPP initiative be adopted to <br />amend the General Plan to require voter approval for certain development projects (a) involving 10 <br />or more residential units and for office or commercial development plans that have buildings in <br />excess of 55 feet in height and (b) designating the San Francisco property, Staples Ranch, Vineyard <br />Avenue Corridor, Busch property, and Merritt property, currently designated for residential <br />development, as agricultural that could not be changed without voter approval?" <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti felt that language would mislead the public. The voters are voting on <br />projects that over 10 units and commercial projects that are over 55 feet in height. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico suggested changing the language to read "developmentplans involving 10 or more <br />units and other issues?" <br /> <br /> There was a break to make copies of the proposed ballot language. <br />Other discussion <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta said the Mayor has requested moving the August 17 City Council meeting to <br />August 16 and moving the August 24 City Council meeting to August 23. She indicated that a <br />meeting has been set with the Economic Vitality Committee to review the CAPP Initiative before <br />the August 24 meeting. She said there are no public hearing items scheduled for the August 17 <br />meeting and suggested canceling the August 17 meeting, and moving all the items to the August 23 <br />meeting. <br /> <br /> There was discussion among Council regarding changing the meetings. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Vice Mayor Ayala, to cancel the August 17 <br />City Council meeting and moving all items to a Special City Council Meeting to be held <br />August 23 at 7:00 p.m. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Michelotti, Pico, and Vice Mayor Ayala. <br />NOES: None. <br />ABSENT: CouncilmemberDennis and Mayor Tarver. <br />ABSTAIN: None. <br /> <br /> The discussion concerning the ballot language was resumed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti wanted the language to read "Shall the Pleasanton General Plan be amended <br />to require voter approval of legislative decisions, etc?" She did not want the public to be misled in <br />thinking it was only voting on projects of 10 or more residential units and permitting commercial, <br />office or industrial development plans that exceed 55 feet in height. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 9 08/03/99 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
